Famously known for leaving a lasting impression wherever he goes, hip hop mogul Sean â€œP. Diddyâ€ Combs has been awarded his own day in the city of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas, Nevada will forever identify May 14th as â€œDiddy Day,â€ further acknowledging the entrepreneurâ€™s admiration for the popular vacation spot.

"It's a great honor that one of my favorite cities in the world has named May 14th 'Diddy Day'," said Combs. "Las Vegas is one of the most colorful and vibrant cities I know. Its non-stop action and adrenaline-fueled energy is infectious. I look forward to working with the city in the years to come."

The event recognizing the famed entertainment impresario will also coincide with the citiesâ€™ 100th birthday celebration.

â€œP. Diddy brings national attention to every city he travels to and our hope is that he continues to bring his electrifying presence to Las Vegas,â€ said Mayor Oscar Goodman. â€œThis weekend is about celebrating Las Vegas and having a good time and who better to invite to a party than P. Diddy.â€

Arrangements for the event were expected to take place one month prior, but due to scheduling conflicts and previous engagements, Combs informed the mayor he wouldnâ€™t be able to attend.

Nevertheless, a wrench in plans couldnâ€™t keep the excitement of the city at bay for long. All parties involved welcomed the rescheduling with no problems.

David Saxe, Las Vegas producer and owner of the V Theater, resounded in the mayorâ€™s enthusiasm for upcoming ventures with the star.

â€œIt is amazing to have P. Diddy, an entertainment mogul, visit the most electrifying city in the world,â€ he said. â€œWe are all thrilled to be a part of [P. Diddyâ€™s] potential future projects in Vegas, and weâ€™re proud to have played a part in Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and P. Diddy meeting with each other today.â€
